Major League Attendance Drops From Record Totals
Major League games show a crowd decline from last year with 8,588,438 fans attending through last night versus 8,965,152 in 1948 across nearly half the 77 projected programs. Indications point to a near one million drop from last season’s record 20,943,545 as several clubs fall below 1948 figures while Pittsburgh gains about 180,000. The Cardinals drew 13,178 in a night game but the Cubs beat St. Louis 6-4, leaving the Cards a full game behind the Dodgers. The Yankees beat the Giants 5-3 in an exhibition. The motion picture industry consumes about 200 million feet of raw film annually.
